I have a reoccuring theme of bad health in my life, and I feel like they are all related to my body being highly susceptible to damage.
I have 3 herniated discs one which causes nerve pain - This became much worse after a car accident but it started before that
I have osteoarthritis - This is directly linked to guitar playing and the fingers I use most are the ones that are most visibly affected. I also get this kind of pain with doing anything too much with a specific finger, say using my pointer finger to control my laptop mouse pad.
I have what is likely IT band syndrome in the right hip - This is directly related to jogging and was never properly treated
Why is my body so easily damaged by specific stressors? I use the word damage because once the pain starts it often stays. Is there an underlying issue that could be contributing to this?
